SENATE BILL
Signed by 27 Senators
and Passed by
25 toll. •
The senate Tuesday passed the new
convict bill Introduced Monday, by the
.enate majority. The vote waa 25 to 11,
and had the full membership-been prea*
ent the advocates of the measure would
Have polled 29 or 30 votes, or about
three to one. against their opponents.
This handsome majority In favor of
the Mil will no- doubt have a decided
Influence 'In the house of representa
tives when the new tenate bill is taken
up In that body Tuesday afternoon-for
consideration. The prediction waa free
ly made about the capitol Tuesday that
the house would accept the bill, either
as It stands or with one or two amend
ments.
The first business the senate eonsld
ered Tuesday was a resolution Intro-
duetd by Senator J. A. J. Henderson,
that the senate, with the concurrence
of the house, adjourn sine die not later
than 5 p. ni.'next Friday.
The resolution woke up Senator
Knight again, and he had started on
noisy tirade’ against the majority of
the' senate when Senator Henderson
•hut him oft by .withdrawing the reso
lution.
, ‘Ter the purpose of hearing some one
else besides the senator from the
Sixth." he said, "1 will withdraw the
resolution.”
Senators Gordy and Crittenden then
Introduced. as a substitute the Holder
bill..which was read. .
Senator-Martin-secured the floor flrat
In the debeto on the several substitutes.
Each Senator' being, .limited .to. ten
minutes In debate. Senator Martin
briefly outlined the purposes of the
new bill Introduced'by the senate ma-
Senator Williford took advantage‘or
the. tea minutes'-debate and advocated
the majority substitute.
The next speech was by Senator Born.
Who attacked the new bill and advo
cated his-own.
The-Irrepressible Senator Knight
the floor next and spent" hts ten min
ute* ln> defying- the-majority In the
. tenate and the newspapers to run the
"steam roller" over him. He rounded
off his elegant ■ periods with this flhe
burst of logic:
"How do you- propose to work this
•tssm' roller? You can't run It over
me; you can’t run It over this leglala-
tuMand.you might as well put It In
yourplpe and smoke It!"
Senator Boyd spoke next in advo
cacy of the majority bill.
Rebuke for Knight.
Senator Camp took ten minutes to
rebuke Senator Knight for his attacks
en the majority, and It was a stinging
rebuke. He'declared, shaking hts fin
ger at Senator Knight, that If he should
go home without ending "this disgrace
ful lease system" he would have "the
mark of Cain” across hie - forehead.
Senator Knight wanted to Interrupt
with a protest, but Senator Camp re
fused to allow the Interruption and
continued. on- in this strain until his
time expired.
Senator Felts spoke next, and altho
hie name Is one of those on the "twen-
ty-seven" bill, he declared he would
vote for the Bom substitute.
Senator Felder spoke In favor of the
“twenty-aeveri" substitute.
8enatc.r Felder 8paaka.
"If you vote for this Mil.” said Sena
tor Felder, "you can cast your vote
with absolute assurance on two polnta,
tc-wlt: Jt will end the leaae system at
the expiration of the present laases and
It win put your convicts on your public
roads."
At the conclusion'of Senator Felder's
remarks. Senator Gordy moved the pre
vious question, to cut off debate. The
motion carried by 28 to 8. The prevloue
question being the paeeage of the Bom
MU or one of the aubatltutes, the Arder

DON’T ADJOURN UNTIL
YOU END THE SYSTEM
ABOLISH THE CONVICT LEASE SYSTEM!
—ATLANTA'S BUSINESS MEN.
"Settle the convict lease question before' you adjourn. Settle it at
any cost."
That Is the message sent to the Georgia legislature Tuesday by At
lanta's leading men—men who stand for the best that Is in the cute,
business men. professional men, ministers—all men whose opinion 1* worth
consideration.
Here la the memorial sent to the two houses Tuesday and below it
are the names of lte signers. Mo stronger argument for the abolishment
of the convict lease system could be given:
“To the General Assembly of Georgia:
"As citizens of this state we beg to respectfully submit for your con
sideration the following:
“First. We believe the convict leaae question now under consideration
to be the most Important matter that has been before your body, and
that Issues involving the character and good name of our state are at
stake in the solution thereof.
"Second. We believe that the exhaustive and Impartial Investigation
conducted by your direction clearly establishes that the lease system Is
both INHUMAN and INEFFICIENT.
Thlrfl. Wd believe that the disinterested people of Georgia to whom
this question really belongs, and who must bear the expense Incurred In
its solution are a unit In condemning every feature <if the lease system.
And we believe that the people of this state are practically unanimous In
asking legislation at your hands which will prohibit the leasing of
convicts after the expiration of the present contracts, either directly or
under the guise of contract labor.
"Fourth. We believe our people are willing to bear any proper expense
*°. 8avo our Mata from further dishonor In connection with the
h * ler criminals and unfortunates.
. F 5U'. Th ® onu * of question falls at last upon the people of this
state. Their good .name Is In your keeping, and when the overwhelming
majority earnestly desire that right be done AT ANY COST, we can not
afford to, cavil over the expense.
"Sixth. We aak^you to consider that this Is a question which must be
Anally settled by the legislature. It.wJII cost less to settle It NOW than
in the future. The expense must. b* borne this year, or next any way.
and you have already given It much valuable time, which will all be
lost If you adjourn without action.
"Seventh. We adjure you, gentleman, whatever the coat of time or of
money, to settle this question before you adjourn.

David Jayne Hill
Won’t Oppose N.Y.
Governor.
By GEORGE M. PAYNE.
8ARATOGA 8PRING8, Sept 15—
For governor, David Jayne Hill, United
States ambassador to Germany.
That waa the plan of the Insurgent*.
A cable was sent and a reply anxiously
awaited. It meant that the antis had
been driven Into a corner and had
aelsed upon the HIM Idea ss a forlorn
hope.
If Hill had accepted the opposition
to Hughes could have united upon him
and defeated the governor. But no
body believed Hill would accept, not
even those who proposed his name.'
Probably the most surprised man In
the world over the proffer of the nomi
nation to the ambassador was Mr. Hilt
himself. He has not been in touch with
the organisation for ysara He is a
good party man, but only from an ac
ademic point of view.
Thought It Wes a Hoax.
He does not know the organisation
leaders personally and he ha* never
worked with them. When he received
the cabled offer hie flrat thought was
probably that It was a hoax. Then he
C bably concluded to decline It out of
id. But being a loyal adherent of
the< national administration and a per
sonal friend and a follower of Roose
velt. he concluded to cable tha presi
dent at Oyster Bay as to what wag tho
proper thing for a diplomat to do.
That cable undoubtedly covered the
Information that he had received tho
offer and eeked for advice. What that
advice was no one who know* anything
about Oyster Bay or the New York Re-
ContinutJ oa Faqt Se res.
